Since exit_mmap() is done without the protection of mm->mmap_sem, it is possible for the oom reaper to concurrently operate on an mm until MMF_OOM_SKIP is set. This allows munlock_vma_pages_all() to concurrently run while the oom reaper is operating on a vma. Since munlock_vma_pages_range() depends on clearing VM_LOCKED from vm_flags before actually doing the munlock to determine if any other vmas are locking the same memory, the check for VM_LOCKED in the oom reaper is racy. This is especially noticeable on architectures such as powerpc where clearing a huge pmd requires serialize_against_pte_lookup(). If the pmd is zapped by the oom reaper during follow_page_mask() after the check for pmd_none() is bypassed, this ends up deferencing a NULL ptl or a kernel oops. Fix this by manually freeing all possible memory from the mm before doing the munlock and then setting MMF_OOM_SKIP. The oom reaper can not run on the mm anymore so the munlock is safe to do in exit_mmap(). It also matches the logic that the oom reaper currently uses for determining when to set MMF_OOM_SKIP itself, so there's no new risk of excessive oom killing. This issue fixes CVE-2018-1000200.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
